Hey, I really like your post. I think your method of learning English is very effective. Listening to English every day is extremely important and the only way to increase your language skills quickly. When I was teaching in Japan, I told my students to listen to English TV or radio every day, even if it was only in the background while they ate meals, cleaned the house, etc. This is the only way to simulate learning English abroad. Students who travel to English speaking countries have a tremendous advantage over those who try to learn while still in their own countries. These students get to listen to, and practice English every time they go to school, a coffee shop, or any other place native English speakers congregate. It is only this constant exposure to English that makes a difference in the time it takes to become fluent. Because of your thinking about studying English, no doubt you will continue to improve quickly as time goes on. Anyway, nice job, really good information.
